Letting product strategy drive your roadmap with Matt O'Connell, Founder/CEO of Vistaly

​How does your team prioritize what you should work on next?

​It’s far too common to prioritize pet projects coming from someone on the leadership team, the most recent feature request from a customer/sales call, or even whatever the product manager’s “gut” says is the best next thing to build. Unfortunately, this often leads to product bloat, unhappy engineering & design teams, dissatisfied customers, and ineffective product launches.

​Building innovative products is hard, so what would it look like to prioritize work that ACTUALLY ladders up to an outcome, or even better yet, the overall company strategy?
